Internet Safety Lessons (Paula)

Internet Safety Lessons: Please look this over and decide who will be teaching this to students. It is mandated by the State of Illinois that all students will be part of an Internet Safety class. It is important that students complete these lessons at the beginning of the year so that we are all on the same page as the year progresses.
